They recently celebrated their thirty-fifth year of chamber music performing and educating. Artaria was formed in Boston, and mentored with venerable members of the Kolisch and Juilliard Quartets.

Since then, they have performed at major venues throughout the United States and Europe, on national television and public radio, and at top international music festivals. In 1992, Artaria competed at the Fourth Banff International String Quartet Competition in Banff, CA.

RCHS History Revealed: Lissie
2026-03-11 18:00 - 19:30 | Courtroom 317 – Landmark Center, 75 5th St. W., Saint Paul, MN, 55102, United States
History Revealed – Lissie
Presented by Ramsey County Historical Society
Landmark Center, 75 West 5th Street, Saint Paul, MN 55102
Suite 317
Wednesday, March 11, 2026
6:00 PM-7:30 PM
Tickets – $25
RCHS is excited and honored to host Lissie for an evening of conversation revolving around her work in music and television. The conversation will be moderated by Youa Vang followed by a Q&A to give attendees the opportunity to ask the artist questions.
Conversation moderated by Youa Vang
Emerging at the dawn of the 2010s with her debut album Catching a Tiger, Lissie defied easy categorization. A singer/songwriter with a gift for soft melodies and delicate surfaces who nevertheless demonstrated a quiet strength at her core, Lissie is a native of the American midwest but found her greatest success in the U.K., which embraced not only Catching a Tiger but made her 2018 album, Castles, a Top Ten record nearly a decade later. Between those two albums, Lissie didn’t sit still. She teamed with Jacknife Lee for the glossy 2013 set Back to Forever, then began the process of stripping her music back to its emotional roots with 2016’s My Wild West, a journey that reached its apex with Carving Canyons, a 2022 album where she processed personal loss through the prism of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Youa Vang is Vice President of RCHS. She is a freelance journalist in the Twin Cities for over 15 years and has written for The Current, MSP Magazine, MN Monthly, Mn Artists and reports on music for MPR. In her free time, she creates art with her sister under the name Third Daughter, Restless Daughter. Vang lives in St. Paul with her family and their tiny dog. She is currently working on her first book about how she connects to being Hmong as a first-generation immigrant.
